11:07 | <bbeattie> | Anyone know if the hardware mpeg encoder code supports more than just the pvr 250? |
11:13 | <Peit|work> | yeah, the PVR-350 :P seriously, anything that provides an MPEG-2 stream via /dev/video0 (or whereever) should be supported |
11:17 | <extremis> | jkolb: nope |
11:18 | <jkolb> | I managed to take a few pictures of my setup. http://www.greyshift.net/myth/ |
11:18 | <jkolb> | Why is it that you wanted to see it? It's nothing spectacular. |
11:20 | <Captain_Murdoch> | my $89 U.S. mythtv frontend (well, $92 counting the can of black spray paint). http://www4.infi.net/~cpinkham/tmp/dsc01052.jpg |
11:22 | <bbeattie> | Peit|work: So even a PAL, SECAM, or NTSC-JP mpeg 2 stream will work via the mpeg2 hardware encoder option? |
11:23 | <jkolb> | Captain_Murdoch: $89 for the case? |
11:24 | <Captain_Murdoch> | no. the case, cpu, memory, everything except the VGA->NTSC converter. It's a Celeron 466 w/ 128MB RAM and 6GB hard disk. I use nfs storage for all my stuff so only thing local is the OS. |
11:25 | <jkolb> | That's nice and cheap. Where'd you get it? |
11:25 | <Captain_Murdoch> | frontend doesn't need to be a P4-3Ghz so I decided to try a small box. :) |
11:25 | <Peit|work> | bbeattie: PAL works with £350, and I can't see any of the others not working really |
11:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | http://www.softwareandstuff.com/ http://www.softwareandstuff.com/dsk_delloptigx100466.html my only gripe is I can't run my PVR-250 in it for some reason. I think it's dma/driver related. |
11:27 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I thought they were sold out but they must have got more in, that's why I posted the 2nd link after I double-checked. |
11:27 | <extremis> | I just like checking out other's setups |
11:27 | <extremis> | jkolb: what theme is that? |
11:27 | <jkolb> | Visor. |
11:28 | <jkolb> | just1nux's theme. |
11:28 | <bbeattie> | Well, I can openly talk about things today, so here goes. There is now a HDTV card for Linux, drivers and all. It works on redhat 7.2, 9, and debian. I'm working on getting it working via mythtv. Currently it works in xine. YThere are patches for xine, and video4linux2 to get it working, paches will be submitted as soon as a few more bugs are resolved. You can read the mpeg2-ts stream via a /dev/dtv. With that, do you see myth needing to |
11:28 | <bbeattie> | see any code changes needed to the "hardware mpeg encoder" to get this working really? |
11:28 | <extremis> | is it included in the mythtv source? |
11:28 | <jkolb> | http://www.coincapital.com/visor/ I think |
11:28 | <Chutt> | it's on the webpage as well |
11:28 | <Chutt> | (the visor theme) |
11:29 | <jkolb> | Yup, that's it. |
11:29 | <Peit|work> | bbeattie: not really,.. I'm not sure about the -TS bit though, Chutt is the man for that question |
11:29 | <Chutt> | it decodes ts files just fine |
11:29 | <Chutt> | as you've seen, hopefully |
11:29 | <Chutt> | it'll need some code for seeking, though |
11:29 | <jkolb> | Is the drive in the Optiplex a standard 3.5"? |
11:29 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: I was trying alst night, but myth still hung when trying to play the stream files, even the clip I sent you, latest cvs of myth, |
11:29 | <Chutt> | works fine here |
11:30 | <Chutt> | that clip is rather broken, though |
11:30 | <Chutt> | both xine and mplayer only decode junk for me |
11:30 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: HDTV streams are mostly broken, due to packet loss. |
11:31 | <Chutt> | mythtv actually decodes the video/audio fine with that clip :p |
11:31 | -!- | creepy [] has quit ["gone.."] |
11:31 | <Captain_Murdoch> | jkolb: yes. Maxtor 90651U2 is the model in mine according to hdparm |
11:31 | <Chutt> | like i said before, if you want support for it, code it up |
11:31 | <bbeattie> | mplayr and xine are the only ones that decode that clip for me. ;).. But for you, putting that clip over another .nuv file that was recorded, and then selecting it via "watch recorded shows" works for you? |
11:31 | <Peit|work> | Chutt: the .nuv file from an MPEG-2 stream, is that a straight MPEG-2, or is it encapsulated? ( i believe the former) |
11:31 | <Chutt> | peit|work, it's mpeg2 |
11:32 | <Peit|work> | Chutt: thanks:) |
11:32 | <Chutt> | i didn't feel like changing the filename generation code |
11:32 | <Chutt> | bbeattie, 'mythtv /path/to/file.blah' |
11:32 | <Chutt> | as long as the backend is running, works fine |
11:32 | <Peit|work> | Chutt: would you accept a patch for it? or is it incredibly un-important and not worth bothering with? |
11:33 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: I'll try again tonight, but I havn't had any luck with it yet. I'll try using straight mythtv on the file nexttime, |
11:33 | <Chutt> | peit|work, i'd say it's not worth bothering with -- this way, it doesn't have to check for multiple extensions |
11:34 | <Chutt> | it doesn't care what format the video is |
11:34 | <Peit|work> | Chutt: *nods* |
11:34 | <Captain_Murdoch> | jkolb: one other thing, you can't use deinterlace on that box because it doesn't have SSE. |
11:35 | <Peit|work> | information on recorded programs is stored in mysql isn't it? |
11:35 | <Chutt> | yup |
11:35 | <Chutt> | but not the pathname |
11:36 | <Peit|work> | the key is the filename without .nuv then? |
11:36 | <Chutt> | no |
11:36 | <Chutt> | it just uses the chanid, start time, and end time to generate the filenames |
11:37 | <Captain_Murdoch> | jkolb: and the sound isn't on the motherboard on mine, it is on a card taking up one of the slots. I wasn't happy with that but since It has built-in network the only thing I thought about using a slot for was the pvr-250 anyway. the pvr-250 did work ok while I was writing the output to local disk but when I tried to save files over the network it would hang so I just threw it in another machine on the net. |
11:37 | <Peit|work> | and that information is cross-referenced in the SQL? |
11:37 | <bbeattie> | in the mpegrecorder source, there's quite a bit of code regarding resolution and other things. Can you specify resolution's for the card to encode? or does the mpeg card normally ignore this (for ntsc cards) as with the card I'm trying to get going, you set an ioctl for the channel and to put it into HDTV mode, then read the device for the stream, you can't do anything other than this, so I'm wondering besides the ioctl for the HDTV mode, do an |
11:37 | <bbeattie> | y of you see anything else that may need to be changed, ignored, or added? |
11:37 | <Chutt> | bbeattie, no one wants to write code for you |
11:37 | <Chutt> | you have to do it yourself. |
11:38 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: I will, but I'm not good, and need all the help I can get so I don't waste time I don't have. :-/ |
11:38 | * Peit|work | goes to get coffee before digging in SQL |
11:38 | <Chutt> | you're wasting _my_ time by not working on things yourself |
11:39 | <hfb> | Chutt: When watching tv using MythTV, I'm assumming that the delay in the feed is somewhere between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. My question is, can that delay be set and increased to say 3 hours? |
11:40 | <hfb> | Chutt: That make sense? |
11:40 | <Chutt> | hm? |
11:40 | <Chutt> | no |
11:40 | <Peit|work> | hfb why not a schedule recording.. |
11:40 | <Chutt> | i'm not sure what you're talking about |
11:40 | <Peit|work> | or do you want a 3 hour long ring buffer? |
11:41 | <Chutt> | why the hell are you messaging me? |
11:41 | <mdz_> | heh |
11:41 | <hfb> | Chutt: I was going to dump a long e-mail and wasn';t sure if people would like it dumped in channel. |
11:42 | <Captain_Murdoch> | hfb, just hit pause. :) |
11:42 | <Chutt> | there is no delay inhering in tv |
11:42 | <Chutt> | aside from something like half a second or so |
11:42 | <Chutt> | inherent |
11:42 | <Chutt> | blah |
11:42 | <Chutt> | if you want to delay playback, just pause it. |
11:42 | <mdz_> | or rewind |
11:43 | <Chutt> | if you want to pause it for longer than your ringbuffer size |
11:43 | <hfb> | Chutt: If I dump the e-mail, you will understand. It has nothing to do with my needs. |
11:43 | * Captain_Murdoch | imagines LiveTV with a 3-hour delay. change channel and wait 3 hours. :) |

16:22 | <jamesb0nd> | anyone know of a video card under linux that has component out |
16:32 | <jkolb> | I'm using a VGA->component adapter. Works pretty well. http://www.audioauthority.com/aacconsumers/9a60detc.html |
16:37 | <yebyen> | jkolb: doesn't that defeat the purpose of using component? |
16:38 | <jkolb> | How's that? |
16:38 | <yebyen> | i thought component was supposed to be a lot higher quality than vga |
16:40 | <jkolb> | Not what I've heard. |
16:40 | <jkolb> | Or seen, really. |
16:40 | <jkolb> | Component in is usually better than VGA in on TVs, because they usually limit the VGA in to 640x480. |
16:41 | <yebyen> | oh |
16:41 | <yebyen> | i wouldn't mind a tv with some kind of digital input |
16:41 | <jkolb> | I'm getting 960x540 (IIRC), which is a lot lower than VGA is capable of, but it's the best my monitor can do. |
16:41 | <yebyen> | keep me from having to use my crappy tv out |
16:42 | <yebyen> | of course, then I could probably call it a monitor |
16:43 | <jkolb> | I got snookered by the product literature, though. My TV can take 720p, but it 'upsamples' it to 1080i. |
16:43 | <jamesb0nd> | so do i just use any video card with it |
16:43 | <jamesb0nd> | guess if i get that it doesn't really matter the video card |
16:43 | <jkolb> | I thought I was going to be able to do (16 * 720 / 9) x 720 progressive. That would have been so nice. |
16:43 | <jkolb> | As long as your card can do the timings. |
16:44 | <jkolb> | That's the hardest part. |

16:45 | <jamesb0nd> | intresting |
16:46 | <jamesb0nd> | thanks |
16:46 | <jkolb> | I got started with some timings info from avsforum, but I can't load their page right now. |
16:46 | <jkolb> | Ah, you may be able to get some timings from here, too: http://pub28.ezboard.com/fentechfrm7 |
16:47 | <jamesb0nd> | hey i don't know if you will know the answer to this but i can't hurt a non hdtv using this convert can I? |
16:47 | <jamesb0nd> | my tv has component in but its not hdtv |
16:47 | <jamesb0nd> | just normal tv |
16:47 | <jkolb> | Um, possibly. It'd be the same as overdriving your monitor. |
16:48 | <jamesb0nd> | mabey i should just stick with s-video, know of any good linux card with s-video out? |
16:48 | <jkolb> | Not a clue. |
16:49 | <jamesb0nd> | yeah me neither, wish the linux htpc avsforum was more active |

20:50 | <jkolb> | Chutt: I have a patch that lets you filter the recorded page by title. The diff generated also moves some of the stuff from the preview patch around so that the previews don't get prematurely purged. http://www.greyshift.net/preview_and_filter.patch |

21:02 | <fulbert> | did support for xmltv 0.5.15 get added to cvs? |
21:08 | <Edgan> | fulbert: I suspect so |
21:09 | <fulbert> | yeah, I don't see a change log, so I am not sure. |
21:09 | <fulbert> | I'm setting up a new machine and I was trying to avoid downloading all the xmltv stuff by hand to get the older ver ;-) |
21:10 | <fulbert> | I'll know soon, I have 0.5.15 and am doing a compile of CVS now. |
21:15 | <bline> | it's fixed in cvs, you should subscribe to the commits list if you are going to use cvs. |
21:16 | <fulbert> | ah, ok. I don't normaly, but as I try to get this multi frontend/backend setup running I seem to be more using CVS more and more. |
21:23 | <Chutt> | jkolb, i'll get that applied to cvs later tonight |

21:45 | <Captain_Murdoch> | bline, did you say you live in Vancouver area? My wife is from PoCo and her parents live in Co without the Po. :) |
21:46 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I'm pretty sure he used packages and didn't compile it himself. |
21:46 | * bline | doesn't know what PoCo is |
21:46 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I think I've seen him comment to people about not compiling by hand, use packages. |
21:46 | <Captain_Murdoch> | port coquitlam. I thought they called it that. |
21:46 | <bline> | Ahh |
21:47 | <bline> | Yeah, that's not far from here |
21:47 | <Captain_Murdoch> | relatives in burnaby also. |
21:47 | <bline> | I've driven through it a few times |
21:47 | <bline> | I live in burnaby |
21:48 | * bline | considers downgrading libpng |
21:49 | <mikegrb> | http://interact-tv.com/products.php <- have you guys seen that? It's the top story on slashdot right now, linux based PVR with network features and DVD burning and stuff |
21:49 | <mikegrb> | I've seen the case they're using on the mailing list but $899, ouch rather do it myself |
21:50 | <fulbert> | heh, that's a ATC-6[1-2]0 case from coolermaster they used too ;) |
21:50 | <bline> | heh, that's the same case my boss got for mythtv |
21:50 | <bline> | those cases are expensive |
21:50 | <fulbert> | that's the case my frontend machine is using. |
21:50 | <fulbert> | $109. |
21:50 | <mikegrb> | I knew people had posted links too it <g> |
21:51 | <Captain_Murdoch> | they use that over-the-air tv guide info for their guide it says. |
21:51 | <Captain_Murdoch> | check that, it says broadband. |
21:51 | <Captain_Murdoch> | sorry. |
21:51 | <Captain_Murdoch> | wonder what their using then since it's "free" |
21:52 | <mikegrb> | heh they have "tellyweather" |
21:52 | <mikegrb> | there's an idea for mythtv... local movie theater listigs |
21:52 | <mikegrb> | listings |
21:53 | <-- jkolb | has quit () |
21:54 | <mikegrb> | it exports the video via samba |
21:55 | <fulbert> | say it uses a mpeg decoder, makes it sound like it's hw based. |
21:56 | <mikegrb> | only 36 comments on the slashdot story |
21:57 | <bline> | any of them mention mythtv? |
21:57 | <mikegrb> | just started reading them, I'm sure there will be, and if not I can easily fix it ;) |
21:58 | <mikegrb> | no commercial skip and can't seek live tv |
21:58 | <mikegrb> | according to a post anyway |
21:59 | <fulbert> | and dvd-r support will be added later it says. |
21:59 | <mikegrb> | right |
21:59 | <fulbert> | 500Mhz, 256MB, 80GB, $900 is a little high priced, no? |
22:00 | <mikegrb> | I would think so |
22:01 | <mikegrb> | everyone seems to think so as well, that's what 90% of the posts say |
22:03 | <bline> | thor: how are you doing the dvd stuff? libdvdread? |
22:03 | <fulbert> | yeah, I mean, I did a P4 2.4/800, 512MB, 2x200GB, CDRW/DVD-ROM, in the same case for about the same cost. |
22:04 | <fulbert> | granted, I am trying to figure out how to get my sound working, since the drives don't support the 82801EB intel 865G yet... |
22:04 | <mikegrb> | " This one's really cool, I have planned to build my own system based on MythTV, and that's exactly the chassi I had in mind, it looks so HiFi" |
22:09 | * fulbert | gives up and looks for that spare sb live card... |
22:10 | <mikegrb> | "Are MythTV and Freevo ready for primetime? " |
22:10 | <mikegrb> | yes |
22:10 | <mikegrb> | not freevo though |
22:21 | <bigguy> | mikegrb: hmm was that on /. |
22:21 | <bigguy> | ? |
22:22 | <Viddy> | http://slashdot.org/articles/03/07/16/008235.shtml?tid=129&tid=188 |
22:23 | <Captain_Murdoch> | should have made MythTV and Freevo links in the article text. |
22:25 | <Viddy> | well mythtv, anyway |
22:28 | <Captain_Murdoch> | some people need freevo like some people need AOL. :) |
22:28 | <mikegrb> | heh |
22:32 | <tdb30_> | at least freevo doesn't segfault on me *yet* |
22:32 | <tdb30_> | I'm still trying to decide on stable freevo, or polished mythtv |
22:33 | <mikegrb> | well um, mythtv is the best |
22:33 | <mikegrb> | mmm-kay? |
22:37 | <fulbert> | I'm playing with LVM, is there any real advantage to using either EXT3 or Reiser on top of it? |

23:21 | <Chutt> | just1nux, hey, you can probably package the osd theme with the rest of the theme file if you want |
23:26 | <mdz> | fuck, backend crash |
23:26 | <Chutt> | heh |
23:27 | <Chutt> | we does it never crash for me |
23:27 | <Chutt> | 'why' |
23:27 | <mikegrb> | because you are it's creator |
23:27 | <mikegrb> | it musn't upset you |
23:27 | <ca1vin> | same here, and I am just a lame user |
23:27 | <mdz> | Chutt: never crashes for me in the debugger either |
23:27 | <tdb30_> | mdz how often does the backend crash on you? |
23:27 | <mikegrb> | has for me but is very rare |
23:28 | <mdz> | tdb30_: there is no pattern to it |
23:28 | <mdz> | so there is no frequency |
23:28 | <Chutt> | oh, i did get it to die earlier today |
23:28 | <Chutt> | but i was being _really_ mean to it |
23:28 | <mdz> | this time I was exiting playback while a recording was in progress |
23:28 | <mdz> | nothing mean |
23:28 | <Chutt> | hrm |
23:29 | <Chutt> | all it does when exiting recording is re-request the recorded programs list |
23:29 | <Chutt> | should be just a normal db hit |
23:30 | <fulbert> | I can get the frontend to crash often when I'm deleting things, but maybe that's known. |
23:30 | <Chutt> | nope |
23:30 | <Chutt> | that works fine here |
23:30 | <Chutt> | just deleted a ton of stuff the other day |
23:30 | <rcaskey> | Sheesh Chutt, you really should // monolith->crash(); for releases |
23:30 | <fulbert> | I get seg faults often, I'd say 1 in 10 files deleted. with .10 and now with CVS as of this afternoon also. |
23:30 | <Chutt> | get a backtrace |
23:30 | <fulbert> | I'll toss a few trace runs later |
23:31 | <mdz> | I think my system is just crap |
23:32 | <fulbert> | I note that it most often crashes when it's near (~5GB) to a full disk, I have a _lot_ of stuff recorded (600GB). |
23:32 | <mdz> | Chutt: the last thing in the db log is it checking for the playbackexitprompt setting |
23:32 | <mdz> | then PlayBoxOrdering |
23:32 | <Chutt> | hmmmm |
23:32 | <Chutt> | mdz, does it happen most often when exiting a recording? |
23:33 | <mdz> | Chutt: yes |
23:33 | <Chutt> | and causes the backend to dump? |
23:33 | <Chutt> | and it doesn't have the big 'get all recorded programs' query? |
23:33 | <mdz> | correct |
23:33 | <mdz> | I remember reading on the list or here about some problem with the listbox or such |
23:34 | <mdz> | but it didn't seem to fit |
23:34 | <Chutt> | frontend issues shouldn't cause the backend to die |
23:34 | <Chutt> | unless it dies in the middle of a query |
23:34 | <Chutt> | hmmm |
23:34 | <Chutt> | maybe something's using the main db connection that shouldn't be |
23:35 | <mdz> | it's a pretty short section of code |
23:35 | <Chutt> | yeah |
23:35 | <Chutt> | nothing obviously wrong |
23:35 | <mdz> | between reading playbackordering and remotegetrecordedlist |
23:35 | <mdz> | wrong db connection definitely could do it |
23:35 | <mdz> | what with the backend writing the markuplist all the time |
23:35 | <Chutt> | hmmmm |
23:36 | <Chutt> | that's using a different connection |
23:36 | <mdz> | and handlequeryrecordings is holding a lock |
23:37 | <Chutt> | yup |
23:37 | <Chutt> | could be something using the default connection without a lock |
23:37 | <Chutt> | could just make MainServer have it's own db connection |
23:38 | <mdz> | all of the db stuff in mainserver.cpp seems to be holding the lock correctly |
23:38 | <mdz> | but anything could be trying to use the default connection |
23:38 | <Chutt> | right |
23:38 | <Chutt> | something in libmythtv |
23:39 | <Chutt> | or libmyth |
23:40 | <mdz> | qsqldatabase should do its own damn locking |
23:40 | <mdz> | or qsqlquery or whoever blows up |
23:40 | <Chutt> | heh |
23:40 | <Chutt> | yeah |
23:40 | <mdz> | I'm all for having mainserver use its own connection though |
23:41 | <Chutt> | want to do that? =) |
23:41 | <mdz> | yeah, I guess |
23:41 | <mdz> | have it open it itself or pass it in/ |
23:42 | <Chutt> | tiny amount of code |
23:42 | <Chutt> | actually, lemme do it |
23:42 | <mdz> | if you insist |
23:48 | <mdz> | I just beat the shit out of it |
23:48 | <mdz> | and could not get it to crash |
23:48 | <mdz> | (with the debugger attached) |
23:48 | <mdz> | I started a recording going, entered and exited all my recordings as fast as I could, skipped around and exited, watched all the way to the end and let it exit |
23:48 | <mdz> | anything I could think of |
23:49 | <just1nux> | Chutt: are you referring to one tar.gz instead of 2? I figured i should do them seperately since that is how it is set up everywhere...mythtv.org/setup screens/etc. |
23:49 | <Chutt> | yeah |
23:50 | <Chutt> | just thought it might be easier for you |

23:50 | <Chutt> | rkulagow, yo |
23:50 | <just1nux> | this reminds me, need to repackage it since i added the support for that new showing list thingy in the xml file. |
23:51 | <rkulagow___> | hey chutt |
23:51 | <rkulagow___> | 't's up? |
23:51 | <Chutt> | nada |
23:51 | <rkulagow___> | (that's how the kids talk these days) |
23:51 | <mdz> | same thing without the debugger, at least that much is sane |
23:51 | <mdz> | maybe my system is just unstable |
23:52 | <just1nux> | btw, when does the commercial skip stuff run...when each thing finishes...when idle? and does it do them one at a time or multiple at the same time? |
23:52 | <rkulagow___> | found that mythbackend wasn't recording a second program on the pvr-250 due to the driver crashing. had two recordings that were supposed to be going; doggy fizzle and family guy. shutdown, so got partial recordings. |
23:53 | <Chutt> | family guy was on just last week or so |
23:53 | <rkulagow___> | when i restarted, only doggy fizzle started to re-record, but in watch rograms family guy is showing that it's _supposed_ to be recording (different color), but it's not, because the tuner was available for live TV. |
23:55 | <Chutt> | just1nux, when it's done recording, but it runs at _really_ low priority |
23:55 | <just1nux> | not on mine it doesnt |
23:56 | <Chutt> | should be renicing itself to 19 |
23:56 | <just1nux> | atleast with cvs from today. 70% it was hogging. |
23:56 | <Chutt> | low priority doesn't mean no cpu |
23:56 | <Chutt> | it means it gives it up when asked |
23:56 | <just1nux> | ok, yeah it did give it up, but not very quickly. |
23:57 | <rkulagow___> | i see --printsched didn't make it into mythbackend built-in CLI help; and other commands that may indicate why the backend didn't kick off the second recording? (the restart of doggy fizzle caused the MySQL "key exists" error because it was already in the db; didn't get anything like that for the restart of family guy) |
23:57 | <just1nux> | playback tstuttered for about 15 seconds |
